4 Month Check-up

Today Tyler had his 4 month well visit. He was 11lbs 7 1/2 oz , 23in!! He's getting SOO big! He's Pedi. wasn't all that happy with his weight though, he said that he wanted him to weigh more, well his CF Dr's at Duke were fine with his weight gain and said he was on his on little weight curve and that he was just fine. I mean we just started feeding him rice cereal last week soo that should help him gain some more weight. It's just soo hard to hear his CF Dr/nutritionist say that he's doing just fine and everything looks great and then he see's his Pedi. and he says something totally diff. I mean he wasn't real worried about his weight he just said that he wanted to give Ty the benefit of the doubt cause he could weigh more. Well I think he's doing just fine, he's happy and eating just fine. If his CF Dr at Duke is happy then I'm happy! :)

While I was feeding Tyler tonight and rocking him in his room, I just looked at him in amazament!! Kelly and I created the most beautiful/perfect baby! It's just sooo amazing how two ppl can create something so great! I love him more and more each and everyday. He's getting his own little personality and is growing/changing everyday. I LOVE being a Mommy and being able to stay at home with him. I don't think that I would be able to work all day and not be with my baby. I feel like I would miss out on soo much, I feel soo lucky/blessed to have him and to be able to stay at home. It's been a long/tuff 4months, but we have gotten through it and I feel that I am stronger b/c of it. With all that is out there I feel very strongly about Tyler's future...it's looking bright!! Hopefully in the near future they will have found a cure for CF...let's hope/pray for that day!

Well Tyler has been sleeping through the night for a few months now and has been sleeping in his swing beside our bed everynight. He does great...but now I feel that it's time to start to transition him to his crib... :( I'm not ready for that, sooooo we have a cradle that was kelly's when he was a baby so we have put that in the bedroom beside the bed for Tyler to sleep in. I figure that it would give him a chance to get used to sleeping without rocking in his swing all night. Plus he's still in the room with me..LOL. :) Then after maybe...let's say....a month? I'll transition him to his crib in his room. Plus it's sooo cold cause Kelly keeps the heat down to save on the heat bill and we keep a space heater on in our room at night to keep it warm...sooo it's cold in Tyler's room and I don't want him to be cold! I know I know...exuses, exuses!! I'm just not ready for him to be in his own room yet, I like to be able to roll over and see him and know that he's okay. He's in the cradle right now..he's been asleep for about 30 min now. We'll see how tonight goes, hopefully he'll sleep through the night, I think he'll do just fine though.

Well I think that's it for now....I hope I didn't bore anyone too much!!
